I've always listened to music, since I was really, really young.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

The music I always liked as a kid was stuff I could bum out to and realize, 'Hey, someone else feels that way, too.' So if someone can do that with my music, it's mission accomplished.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I don't think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

Music's something you feel. You have to feel it first before you hear it.

Playing music is a beautiful thing. But listening to music is just as great.

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.

Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.

I think it's really cool to embrace the pain of something that may have hurt you and be able to express it through music.
